Union Saint-Gilloise and Club Brugge are set to meet for the second time in a space of just three days.
And Sunday’s fixture could not be any bigger after USG’s 1-0 win in Bruges yesterday evening, which has seen them climb to the top of the Jupiler Pro League Championship Round table.

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Club Brugge Preview
For much of the regular season, it looked as if the title race was to be contested by just two teams – Genk and Club Brugge.
But USG have come out of nowhere to take the lead and right now, they look close to unstoppable.
The side from Brussels have won five matches in a row in this season’s edition of the play-offs, beating both Genk and Club Brugge away from home in a period of just four days.
After a disappointing performance in the Europa League, where they were knocked out at the play-off stage by Ajax in convincing fashion, USG’s form in the Championship Round simply has to be applauded.
However, Club Brugge are still a team to be feared and before the loss to USG, Nicky Hayen’s side had claimed four consecutive wins.
Their previous away match saw them thrash Gent 5-0, with talented winger Christos Tzolis netting a brace, so they will still be confident of delivering a positive result on Sunday.
When these two sides met in Brussels during the regular season, the match finished 2-2, a result which USG would probably be okay with.
Although, a draw would present Genk with the chance to move level on points with USG at the top.
What a title race we have in the Belgian top flight!

Union Saint-Gilloise vs Club Brugge Betting Tips
First half result – Draw @ 2.18
With so much on the line, this should be a really cagey affair in the opening 45 minutes of play, with goalscoring chances at a premium.
Under 9.5 corners in the match @ 2.00
In Thursday’s contest, there were only four corners in total. As such, this looks like a great selection from our website!
Draw at half-time, Union Saint-Gilloise to win the match @ 5.20
This is, of course, the riskiest tip of the lot. But as previously mentioned, the first half should be a real chess match and it would be anything but a surprise to see a stalemate when the referee blows his whistle. And with recent good form behind them, as well as a home crowd cheering them on, USG can take the game by the scruff of the neck in the second half and make it back-to-back wins over the reigning champions!
